      Allows text to be displayed from instruments like sliders etc. (only on Unix and Windows at present)

        <h2>Performance</h2>
        <p>
      Note that this opcode is not available on Windows due to the implimentation of pipes on that system 
    </p>
        <p>
      A window is created, identified by the iwhich argument, with the text string displayed.  If the text is replaced by a number then the window id deleted.  Note that the text windows are globally numbered so different instruments can change the text, and the window survives the instance of the instrument.
